Mitcham hits head at diving nationals

Gold Coast

Olympic gold medallist Matthew Mitcham says he’ll heed a rudimentary lesson after hitting his head on a pool deck at the Australian diving championships.

The 2008 Beijing 10-metre platform champion was taken to hospital for precautionary scans after banging his head when he fell while rushing to join fellow finalists for the three-metre springboard event at Brisbane’s Chandler Aquatic Centre on Thursday.
